Fire Approved for daytime and night care 4/17/2024. Mr. Cothran was present while I observed the indoor and outdoor areas. Upon my arrival no children were present. One child arrived at 3pm. Upon the child’s arrival, the child put his personal items away in individual cubby and participated in hand washing routines. The child then had a snack. After the snack the child was observed participating in outdoor activities. The child was able to ride his bike. The provider stood out in the play area and talked with the child while he rode his bike. They talked about the child’s day at school as well as his birthday that is coming up. The snack served today was apple juice, goldfish, and apple sauce. At the completion of the visit, the Visit Summary was reviewed with Mr. Cothran. The following violation was observed. Violation Number Comment Rule 1065 Child care providers scheduled to work in the infant room, did not complete ITS-SIDS training within two months of employment or did not complete the training every three years. Child care administrators did not complete the ITS-SIDS training within 90 days of employment and every three years thereafter. The provider who is scheduled to work with children did not complete ITS-SIDS training every three years. The last time the training was completed was 1/11/2022. .1102(f) Child Care programs are expected to achieve and maintain compliance at all times and are required by NC GS 110-90(4) (d) to achieve and maintain an eighteen-month compliance history score of at least seventy-five percent. Violation observed and documented today may impact the compliance history score. The violations observed and documented today must be corrected immediately. Additionally, by 5:00pm on April 7, 2025, you must submit a written, dated, and signed statement to me. The statement must describe accurately and in detail, how and when the violations were corrected. If the letter states that corrections have been made when they have not, this may be considered falsification of information. If sufficient information is not received by the due date, a follow-up visit may be completed. Mail or email the information to: Sandra Johnson Child Care Consultant P.O. Box 64401 Fayetteville, NC 28306 If you email the compliance letter, you must include a signature block, which contains your name, position, facility name, and facility ID number. An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 TA: An observation was completed from 3:10p.m. to 3:25 p.m., the child was engaged in riding his bike. He was allowed to pick what activities he did outdoors. The child really enjoyed going outdoors before doing homework or indoor activities. The provider was very engaged in talking with the child about his day. I recommended that the provider keep having engaging conversations with the child. A violation was cited regarding ITS-SIDS Training. Refer to child care rule 10A NCAC 09 .1102(f). We discussed the following strategies: Mark on calendar when trainings must be complete and how often. Keep a dry erase board with all staff and dates of documents and when they must be renewed.
